    yea, the byrds are great...i like their originals, though...like "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Bells Of Rhymney". I'm not into their covers of Dylan's songs. And I wish 'Frisco was like it was 40 years ago.

    Yeah, the Byrds have always been one of my favorite groups. I've got a bunch of their albums from the 60's. My favorite Byrds album is "Untitled". If I had to pick a favorite Byrds' song it would be hard but I'll go with "Eight Miles High". I also like their covers of some Dylan tunes.

    I love their psychedelic work, but my favorite Byrds' song is "Chestnut Mare." "Artificial Energy" takes a close second.

    It's one of my fave bands from "Turn Turn Turn" to "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" it's what i really like...
    There is just two of their 12 albums that i don't like very much it's "Byrdmanix" (71) & "Further Along" (72)

    Imagine a Psychedelic Byrd with Gene Clark ... uhmmm ....i always make impossible dreams.

    I've got a few 45s of their's that I've never had the pleasure of listening to, other than that, I've only heard their popular stuff. :(

    Yeah Byrds make it.

    My favourite is: 'Everybody's Been Burned' .

    But take my advice: avoid listening to: 'Triad' !!!.:p

    Yeah i think the same ...it's their best album their most adventurous...for me ...it's clearly at the level of the beatles ...they're probably even more trippy than the beatles of the white album and all this with quality
    with "Goin' Back" then "Artificial Energy" then "Draft Morning"...are pure jewel ...one after the other... all the album is without fault... mmmhhh they don't put "Triad" in the official version of the album ...this was their only fault ...

    I've got to recognize that the album "Five Dimension" is incredible...The Side A is magic and the band evoution is impressing in just 6 month! ...The Side B is not exeptional ...xpt 2-3 songs ...
    And why "Why" was not include in the version released in 66 ...i can't understand it ! (the other bonus "I know my Rider" is a good song 2!)
